Lazy Days of Summer

This morning we took advantage of the fabulous weather and travelled to the Komoka area (almost London)    for the Fleetwood Charity Cruize-In, a large classic car show held on the private property of a very wealthy individual. Beyond his own collection of over a hundred cars, there were apparently some 3000 classic cars expected. We went early and left early, before it got too busy and before we got burnt to a crisp.....but we must have seen (and drooled upon) at least 1000 cars.

Took the scenic route home along the Lake Erie shoreline, stopping at local stands for fresh baked goods, local strawberries and asparagus, and some steaks for the BBQ.  Hadn't factored on "Rosy Rhubarb Fest" clogging up Highway 3 at Shedden, but otherwise it was a very relaxing drive along the shore.

Still home by early afternoon, to get some yardwork done and enjoy some reading, music and feline antics. Rounded out a gorgeous evening with a bonfire, and back inside to catch OT and double OT in Gam 2 of the Stanley Cup finals between the LA King and the New York Rangers. Great day all around.
